Help at Home Care

Bringing professional, compassionate care to your doorstep.

AHC Carers Meeting

Having a carer visit you at home can significantly improve your quality of life, helping to foster independence wherever possible, aiding with mobility, and assisting with day-to-day tasks.

What is Help at Home?

Help at home is a range of services aimed at offering care and support to those in need in the convenience of their own homes. Help at home covers a broad range of services, and it’s not just basic help – it provides companionship and specialised care for those with chronic conditions, disabilities, or those recovering from surgery or illness.

The main goal is to help people maintain their independence, stay safe, and feel comfortable in their own homes while receiving the compassionate care they deserve. Help at home enables people a safer, more independent, and more comfortable quality of life while staying in their own homes.

When Should I Consider Help at Home?

You might want to consider care at home if:

  • ​​You’re finding it difficult to cope with daily routines, such as washing, dressing and getting out and about.
  • You don’t want to move into a care home.
  • You can still get about your home and it’s safe for you to live in – or it can be adapted to make it safe.
  • You are looking for a bit of companionship and support to help you through everyday life.
